EP11- Kubernetes Helm

🚀 In this episode, we learn how to deploy and manage Kubernetes applications using **Helm**, the package manager for Kubernetes.

Instead of manually creating Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and Ingress resources, Helm allows us to package and manage entire applications with simple commands.

We'll install Helm, explore Helm repositories, deploy NGINX using a Helm Chart, customize deployments using values, manage releases, and remove applications with a single command.

## What You'll Learn

* Why Helm exists
* What a Helm Chart is
* What a Release is
* Helm Repositories
* values.yaml
* Installing applications with Helm
* Customizing applications
* Upgrading releases
* Uninstalling releases
* Real-world Kubernetes package management

## Helm Concepts

Chart = Application Package

Release = Installed Chart

Repository = Chart Store

Values = Configuration

Helm = Kubernetes Package Manager

## Commands Used

### Install Helm

``bash
brew install helm

```
### Install NGINX Chart
```bash
helm install my-nginx bitnami/nginx
```
### List Releases
```bash
helm list
```
### Check Release Status
```bash
helm status my-nginx
```
### Verify Kubernetes Resources
```bash
kubectl get pods
kubectl get svc
kubectl get all
```
### Show Chart Values
```bash
helm show values bitnami/nginx
```
### Install with Custom Values
```bash
helm install my-nginx-custom bitnami/nginx \
--set replicaCount=3
```
### Upgrade a Release
